THIS terrifying video shows how quickly coronavirus can spread in a restaurant – when just one person is infected. Scientists from Japan recreated the atmosphere at a buffet restaurant or on …
The video shows how the virus can spread onto food, serving utensils and platters, and even the faces of other diners
The video, which was conducted by the public broadcasting organisation NHK alongside health experts, shows ten people coming into the restaurant - with one singled out as the "infected" person. John Nicholls, a clinical professor in pathology at Hong Kong University, said this video portrays just how quickly the deadly virus can spread, especially when people don't wash their hands.: "What the video demonstrated, is that it will spread to surfaces and to people very efficiently.
"The experiment just described the possibility of the spread by contact, and that is not proof of what happened, so the distinction has to be clearly made between what could happen and what did happen," Iwata told CNN. He added: "So the general public gets some concept of the mechanism of how much the use of hand washing can actually reduce the transmission of potentially infectious material."
The document says: "Some venues which are, by design, crowded and where it may prove difficult to enact distancing may still not be able to re-open safely at this point, or may be able to open safely only in part.
